I, too, have a mis(mess)-understanding. His quote at the top is exactly as I see on my monitor, mutt 1.5.13 (2006-08-11). The line is wrapped properly with only the quote indicator '> ' added. If you observe the line(s) with your counting added as one line, there is something amiss between your version of mutt and mine. ???? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/
